Hailing from Fargo, North Dakota, The Forefeathers bring a vibrant blend of jam band sensibilities, rock roots, Americana storytelling, and psychedelic soundscapes. Formed by three former members of The Human Element- Matt Johnson (guitar/vocals), Seth Holden (drums/vocals), and Brant Niemi (bass)- who joined forces with Keith Thornby (sax/keys) to blend their talents, influences, and love for this style of music. Each member has gained diverse musical backgrounds from playing in locally acclaimed bands throughout the Midwest, including OFOSHO, Sovereign Sect, Hiahli, WBPN, and Hardwood Groove.

Tapers notes: Recording 3 of 13 from Muskie Days 2026. I wasn't familar with this band, but I knew of Keith Thornby from another band (Hardwood Groove) he played with at Muskie Days a few years back. Keith has a distinctive sound, and he brought it here with The ForeFeathers, making this set a lot of fun. As with all the Muskie Days recordings this year, sound here is excellent, and are a lot of fun to work on.
